EMERGENCY ACTION in Support of Six Nations!

Gather at the Vancouver Art Gallery
(Georgia & Howe)

WEAR RED! BRING YOUR DRUM!


Deterrence Rally to Prevent Another Police Invasion of Six Nations Land!

Under the direction of the Clan Mothers at the Six Nations Territory,
this action is being organized in solidarity with the Six Nations, and
in support of their demands for an immediate cessation of all
construction by Henco Industries on Six Nations territory and for
resolution to the current standoff to be conducted on a
nation-to-nation basis.

On April 20th, OPP invaded the re-occupied Six Nations territory and
attempted to remove the Six Nations people from their land with brutal
force. In the end, this invasion was successfully repelled, and there
are now hundreds of Six Nations community members and their supporters
at the site.

Since then, negotiations have been going on, but the situation is
still urgent. The threat of another police invasion against Six
Nations is imminent. We need to take immediate action to help deter
any further intrusions by the police into Six Nations Territory. We
need to send a strong, clear message to the Canadian government to
show our support for the Six Nations and their demands for a just and
peaceful resolution to the dispute over the Haldimand Tract, which
clearly belongs to the Six Nations. This is an attack, not just
against Six Nations, but against the rights of all indigenous people,
and we must stand together against these colonial attacks.
